Abstract

Rapid activation of JNK and p38 and their translocation to the cell nucleus by glucocorticoids, corticosterone (Cort), and bovine serum‐conjugated corticosterone (Cort‐BSA) were studied in primary cultured hippocampal cells by using immunobloting and immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. The rapid activation occurred 5 min after stimulation and was maintained at plateau for as long as 2–4 hr; i.e., the response persisted for 2 hr after washing out the 15‐min application of Cort‐BSA. The activation occurred at a minimal concentration of 10^–9^ M for Cort and 10^–8^ M for Cort‐BSA. GDPβS blocked the activation, but RU38486, a nuclear glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, could not block the activation, indicating the involvement of the membrane‐delineated receptor in this reaction. The protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor Gö6976 blocked the response, whereas the protein kinase A inhibitor H89 could not, implying the involvement of PKC in the intracellular signal transduction pathway. The nongenomic nature of the responses and the transduction pathway and the significance of persistent action and biological significance are discussed. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Induction of proliferation in primary resting T cells requires engagement of both the antigenspecific TCR and the co-stimulatory receptor CD28. Here we report that CD28 functions as an autonomous mitogenic receptor which is mobilized by TCR signaling through cytoskeletal rearrangement. Shortcutting

We previously demonstrated that oxysterols inhibit the growth of experimental glioblastoma induced in the rat brain cortex. Mechanism of action of these compounds remains obscure. In this study, we investigated the effect of 7␤-hydroxycholesterol (7␤-OHCH) and 7ketocholesterol (7k-CH) on the growth

Superinduction is cell‐specific and the mechanisms involved are not fully understood but are usually attributed to decreased
